Griffin ready to go as Baylor QB

WACO, Texas — Visited with Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin here yesterday. The most exciting quarterback in the Big 12 — yes, that includes you, Sam Bradford and you, too, Colt McCoy — feels he has totally recovered from the blown out knee that cost him nearly all of last season.

What was harder to overcome than the knee was the feeling of letting down a university and community that haven’t been to a bowl game since the 1994 Alamo Bowl. Without Griffin, the Bears went 4-8 overall and 1-7 in league.

Read all about it in my upcoming “Carwriters” tour series of the Big 12 South.

By the way, Baylor is catching up in the arms race. Its new indoor practice facility and football house are absolutely gorgeous. Colorado? You’re falling further behind the Joneses.
